Episode 164. Run Your Way With Beba Guzmán
Running is one of the most democratic spaces in sport—there’s no mold to fit into, no pace threshold required, and no single way to be a runner. In this special episode from the Nike After Dark Tour series, I sit down with Beba Guzmán: runner, director, producer, community leader, and founder of a movement dedicated to getting more women to the starting line.
Beba shares how stepping directly toward discomfort sparked a journey that evolved from a tentative 2K into crossing the finish line of an 8K race, discovering running as both a megaphone and a canvas for storytelling. They explore the vital importance of representation, why taking up space in sport matters far beyond race day, and the powerful community movement Beba created for International Women’s Day in Mexico—uniting thousands of women without corporate agendas or registration barriers, purely to reclaim space, honor history, and demand safety and equality.
Plus, stick around to the end of the episode as Coach answers a voicemail from listener Katie, who shares her moving story of lacing up and running through cancer treatments.
Cheers and thank you for listening,
Coach Bennett
